Man I'll tell you one thing - glad he wasn't the Dems nominee.

Can you imagine this shit hitting in October? It'd be like receiving a face splash from an ICBM.

8/8/2008 3:48:36 PM

I can't believe he had the nerve to even run. Bastard would've cinched it for the GOP.

Thanks goodness we chose the infallible one.

8/8/2008 3:49:57 PM

LOL that would have been a shit storm.

8/8/2008 3:52:07 PM

BTW, notice that this news is breaking on a Friday--typical politician's move this.

8/8/2008 3:53:22 PM

nod to hooksaw for posting the news on two different threads.

dude. sad.

8/8/2008 3:55:27 PM

wait.

did this happen AFTER the 2004 Kerry/Edwards run... or before?

I personally dont normally give a shit who's fucking who. it shouldnt be an issue in politics, unless its a politician who makes the morality of monogamy a central plank in their platform.

but yeah... thats pretty low. his wife was going to forego doctors' advice and campaign with him around treatments for a terminal form of cancer

EDIT: this happened after his wife was in remission and not actively beign treated.

BUT STILL .... if Edwards thought he could have hid that during a presidential campaign, hes dumber than I look.

^^ You're a liar. I posted the story at issue in one thread and nothing more than a pic of Edwards in the other.

Get your fucking facts straight.

8/8/2008 3:59:42 PM

According to Edwards, it happened in 2006.

Elizabeth found out about it around that time.

Pretty shocking that he thought nobody would find out.

8/8/2008 4:01:26 PM

well, wait... if it was in 2006... her cancer was in remission, and according to Elizabeth Edwards, was not an active issue in her life at that time.

She was in remission.

She was originally diagnosed in 2003 I think

8/8/2008 4:03:39 PM

you're right... i was editing as you were posting.

she was diagnosed in late 2004. the cancer was declared in remission in 2006. and not revealed to have come back until early 2008.

8/8/2008 4:06:36 PM

Ha!

Kid you posted Edwards picture in this thread you entitled "yet another Democrat[ic] Sex Scandal" 3 minutes after you posted your news link of the breaking story in the Edwards thread.

Uhh, you were saying?

Hey your a GOPper so live it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't. But get a life bud

I'm not sure if you have a point here other than pointing out the obvious. I know that at NCSU at least, it's taught in PR classes that bad news is released on Friday, and in general, this is a commonly known practice: http://coreissues.typepad.com/core_issues/2006/01/why_financial_r.html

8/8/2008 4:15:35 PM

^^ I'm not in the GOP. Get your fucking facts straight!

^ Thus, my use of "typical," which you must've missed. In any event, let's not make this about me, okay? I think everyone's had enough of that--this is about a lying weasel named John Edwards who cheated on his wife.

hooksaw you're about as "independent" as O'Reilly. It's a gossamer-thin gimmick.

8/8/2008 4:20:17 PM

^ Opinions vary. And you don't know shit about me--this thread isn't about me.

Back on topic.

8/8/2008 4:22:18 PM

dude lighten up, its Friday for heaven's sake.

just b/c your wanking off to the collapse of a former democratic senator doesn't mean we judge. we just want the best for you.

and as being a child of the 80's (i'm not old am i?) i can use whatever saying from that era i choose

8/8/2008 4:25:38 PM

what a total dick. He knowingly entered a race that he had a greater than zero chance of winning, knowing that he would have fucked the Democratic party if this came out. and it was just 2 years ago - what were the chances that it wouldn't come out!

At least she was female, but 14 WTF, republicans?

How about: he ran as a Vice Presidential candidate four years ago knowing that underneath his shiny veneer lies a lying, weasel, scummy, douchebag who shouldn't be let anywhere within 50 yards of the Oval Office? That seems like the bigger "sin" to me. Guess America chose right after all, huh?

this is a very good read:

http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/08/08/america/edwards.php

Quote :

"The National Enquirer first reported on the affair in October 2007, and Edwards denied it. "The story is false," he told reporters. "It's completely untrue, ridiculous." He professed his love for his wife, Elizabeth, who had an incurable form of cancer, saying, "I've been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years and as anybody who's been around us knows, she's an extraordinary human being, warm, loving, beautiful, sexy and as good a person as I have ever known. So the story's just false.""

Quote :

"In 2006, Edwards' political action committee paid $100,000 in a four-month span to a newly formed firm run by Hunter, who directed the production of just four Web videos, one a mere 2½ minutes long. The payments from Edwards's One America Committee to Midline Groove Productions started July 5, 2006, five days after Hunter incorporated the firm in Delaware."

let's see... $10,000 for the videos, and $90,000 as payment for sex?

Quote :

""I want to see our party lead on the great moral issues - yes, me a Democrat using that word - the great moral issues that face our country," Edwards tells the crowd. "If we want to live in a moral, honest just America and if we want to live in a moral and just world, we can't wait for somebody else to do it. We have to do it.""

ok....
